Thx for the replies.
I installed one of the rods in my eng to check cam clearance. It cleared the cam fine, but hits the oil pan rail and bottom of the cyls too. I had previously clearanced those areas for the stock type rods.
I was wondering if real Eagle rods are supposed to be ~1/4" larger than stock rods where the bolt head is (on the H-beam type).
Also, does Eagle have a website?
If they do, I can't find it..
After a bit more digging in the shipping box, I found the invoice.
Sure enough, they sent me Prowler H-beams rods instead of Eagles. I quoted them the exact part# for the rods and they still screwed it up.
They also overcharged me $15 on the pistons!
Well I returned the Prowler rods and received my Eagle rods today.
On the side of the rod it says "CRS-5700-BS".
On the box it says "CRS5700B3D"
Are these 2 designations the same, or have the rods been packaged in a different box?
Dirt Track Thunder is bunch of idiots. They sent me the wrong stuff three times when I ordered parts for my 400. Once they sent me 7 pistons (!!), second they sent the wrong size pistons, and the thirdtime then didnt put ARP bolts on the rods like I ordered. Needless to say I will never deal with them again.
